CONFERENCE
General
• Prefer AGM at hotel to Carwacs venue
• Well received once again and everything was good.
• Post Forum is a little long for some
• Can we cut the conference down to 2 days versus 3 days.

OPCA response: Since the manufacturer training comprises of a full day, it is difficult to fit all events in two days.

• Increase shuttle service to Carwacs
• TSSA interaction was very positive

Speakers
General comments:
• LFHC discussion was important
• TSSA: more practical and technical discussions
• POST speaker was great!
• Thought we had a great mixture this year
Suggestions:
• Private locator service speaker
• Invite Ministry of Labour to speak about our industry with Q & A
• Environmental consultants to discuss code requirements
• Suggested that another session on aftermath of an incident or injury would be valuable at the Safety Forum
• Another session on employee retention would be good-preferably by someone outside our industry

Manufacturer Training
• Training was generally good this year-more training and less sales
• Safety workshop with respect to reviewing legislated requirements and changes from the MOL – e.g. working at heights training
• Ttraining on DEF installations

OPCA INITIATIVES
General comments:
• Everything the OPCA does is accepted and supported. Members are happy it seems

GENERATOR COURSE
General comments:
• Members agreed there are existing gaps specifically with commissioning systems
• Like the idea and the topics seem to be well covered.
• Generator Course – is going to be well attended and used
• Part of current PM designations or separate/new designation
Suggestions:
• Need help with exhaust / venting issues
• Exhaust Systems – testing requirements? – double wall installation (can we complete this with this license?)
